I think you’re missing my point. Being upset, disturbed, uncomfortable or moved emotionally by something is not what a trigger means. The word has been watered down significantly. I am explicitly referring to its original usage - mental health symptoms which could throw off a person’s wellbeing. That is what trigger warnings are for.
I’m sorry, which part of “destroys me” don’t you understand? Do I need to spell out that on more the one occasion I contemplated a bullet in the head because of those things?
Just because you are unable to relate to such a thing does not mean my mental health is not negatively impacted.
So I ask again, where do you place the limit on what is deserving a trigger warning?

Edit for typos.

This is a clear troll. You have a good day now.
I love it. I don’t understand your mental health struggles so I’m going to resort to name calling.
